Thanks for visiting. I named this page after one of my favorite François Truffaut films La chambre verte, which is itself based upon a Henry James story, The Altar of the Dead. I'm a kindred spirit of the main character. Someday I might be able to write about Elliott Smith. But since his music speaks louder than my words ever could, I don't see the point of adding to an already crowded blogosphere on this matter. All I hope for is that this page contributes to the promotion of this amazing songwriter's work.


My Interests

This page is dedicated to the beautiful people who haunt my dreams and whose work, talent, wit and beauty are a constant source of comfort and inspiration.

Elliott Smith

George Harrison and John Lennon

Antonio Gades

I just wrote a love declaration to Paul McCartney's (aka The Fireman) exhilirating latest album, Electric Arguments. Naturally, I love this video...

The Fireman - Sing The Changes

Here is a video from my favorite band, 54 Seconds. If you like it, check out their page for more treats.
